HMC356LP3TR

Overview

The HMC356LP3TR is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC low noise amplifier designed for CDMA and GSM applications. It operates within a frequency range of 350 MHz to 550 MHz. The device provides a typical gain of 17 dB with a noise figure of 1 dB. It requires a supply voltage of 5 V and draws a current of 104 mA. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 21 dBm and an OIP3 of 38 dBm. The component is housed in a 16-VFQFN package with exposed pad, suitable for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs PHEMT technology for high-performance RF amplification
• Optimized for low noise operation in cellular communication bands
• Integrated MMIC design simplifies circuit implementation

Applications

• CDMA base station front-end modules
• GSM receiver input stages
• Wireless local loop equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LP3TR against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm reel packaging and tape specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow profiles. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest datasheet revision. Validate that the supplier provides traceable manufacturing records.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing receivers for 350-550 MHz bands requiring minimal signal degradation. The 1 dB noise figure supports sensitive detection needs. Consider the 16-QFN footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities given the 910 mW power dissipation rating. Ensure biasing circuits support the 104 mA current draw at 5 V.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC356 series of low noise amplifiers from Analog Devices. It complements other RF components in wireless infrastructure systems. The LP3 variant denotes a specific lead-free and halogen-free compliant package option. It serves as a critical active element in signal chain architectures for mobile communications.

Replacement Considerations

HMC356LP3E is a tray-packaged equivalent with identical electrical characteristics. HMC356LP3ETR offers alternative reel configurations. Verify pinout and thermal pad connectivity before substitution.
